There was an concubine in the eldest wife of Duke Song’s mansion, which was given by the old wife of Duke Song.

Li Ruhai, the eldest wife of the Duke of Song, was born to the legitimate wife of the old Duke of Song. Li Rujiang, the current second wife, was the current Chengen Duke, and later the step-wife. Empress Li was actually a concubine daughter. When the old Duke of Song was pregnant, she gave her maid to the old Duke as a marriage partner. Later, the legitimate wife passed away and the step-wife came in. When the step-wife gave birth to a daughter, she remembered it in the name of her ex-legal wife. Because the Duke of Song had never treasured her daughter, she rarely let any daughter be a concubine, so outsiders never knew about this.

The stepwife of the old Duke was not an ambitious bad stepmother. At that time, no one could have predicted that Li Ruhai would die early, so the stepwife was just raising the child very comfortably. Therefore, Empress Li and the two legitimate sons had a good relationship. The eldest master Li Ruhai was also very filial to this stepmother.

Just like the current Emperor Qi Sheng, if there is any good thing, the sons will serve one serving per person and serve a bowl of water.

The same is true for the old lady of Duke Song's mansion. She couldn't care about her stepson, but her own son could not let go and ignore her. In addition, the Pangzi that the second master had found herself was really poor in style, so the old lady forced her to be a concubine for her son. In fact, she was just to suppress her daughter-in-law and also had a certain grasp of her son's room. This kind of thing was quite normal for the old lady in a wealthy family, but in the attitude of: if the son has a step son, others would say that I was biased. In order to seek fairness, the old lady also stuffed her stepson.

The backyard of the second master Li Rujiang was very exciting immediately. The wife suppressed the concubine, and the concubine had an old lady in charge. If the old lady suppressed the wife, it would be a completely closed loop.

There is no spark on the side of the eldest master Li Ruhai.

Because the master and his wife were in a harmonious relationship, he also knew that this Tongfang was the evidence that the old lady made for outsiders that "I am not biased", so he threw the Tongfang in the backyard, which was a living decoration. Later, the Tongfang saw that his colleagues who had married into the second house had a concubine's daughter. She was still a yellow girl. Unwilling to accept it, she seduced Li Ruhai, for example, to send a meal and some food in the study, she didn't need Li Lanlan's mother to take action. Li Ru's mother did not need to take action.

Hai asked someone to beat her in public for "stealing documents" and "poisoning me". That time, the noise was quite joyful. Such a shameless and self-screwed bed would be punished. Everyone likes to watch the fun. Therefore, Li Lanlan was young at that time and still had some impression of her, but she didn't remember what the concubine looked like in the end. After this, this person seemed to have disappeared. I guess she couldn't survive?

This room was just a matter of making up for the numbers, and no one in the Li family cared about her life or death, and the old lady would not make her stepchild unhappy for her servants. This matter was over like this.

A servant who signed a contract to sell his body was charged with the crime of not being seen in a high-ranking family, and then slowly disappeared. What's more, Li Ruhai doesn't like her, and Han also hates her. If he wants to call Li Lanlan, the daughter of a daughter, said that such a maid who climbed the bed wanted to steal her father and even made her mother angry, it would be retribution for such an ending. But now...

Li Lanlan already understood that among the great families, a life is just a trivial matter.

Li Lanlan cried and said, "I understand that Your Highness doesn't want to marry me, but I was forced to take me into the mansion. The second wife of the Li family was in a bad relationship, and the Crown Princess hated me even more. I only ask Your Highness for one thing, please give me a small courtyard farthest from Your Highness. After a year and a half, you will tell the public that I am dead. At that time, I asked Yicheng to pick me up, Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, and I will live this life... It just so happened that there is a familiar old nun in Yizhen's village. I can swear with my life and never marry someone else without abide by the wife's demeanor. I just want Your Highness to let me go a way out. I don't want to be like that aunt, with no son or grandchildren, and no one knows life or death."

Li Lanlan never thought about it for a day that now... she would stand on this position one day, a concubine who had to go to the mansion, a decoration that pretended to marry for others, and a concubine who was not liked by her husband and was even hostile to her wife.

Wang Yizhen let out a deep sigh and understood Li Lanlan’s plan.

When Li Lanlan entered the Eastern Palace, she had already received the imperial edict from Emperor Qi. Except for the fact that she wanted to be confiscated and exterminated her family, as long as she was a normal person, she should understand that there would be no change.

However... nothing is difficult in the world, there are still two ways to avoid it.

First: As Li Lanlan said, she quietly pretended to die, searched for a corner that no one knew, ruined her face and refused to appear in front of others, and from then on, the ancient Buddha of Qinglan and lived this life. This is not very difficult to do, because... no one cared about whether Li Lanlan did this concubine or not.

For Emperor Qi Sheng, it was just that his son accidentally slept with a woman, and he had given her enough decentness. For the prince and the princess, all the things he should ask for were asked about were found. This concubine saved some grudges and entanglements if she didn't enter the mansion.

The second is that the prince went to the front of Emperor Qi Sheng and did not marry Li Lanlan. Even if his reputation was not good, Li Lanlan would still have the chance to marry another wife.

However, the second method was actually impossible to achieve. The prince had to have such affection and courage, and the decree of marrying a concubine would not be issued. Therefore, the only way is the only way, the most direct way, but also the most cruel way.

If she did this, Li Lanlan would no longer be the daughter of the Li family. No matter how beautiful she was, she could not appear in front of others. No matter how capable she was, she could not manage her husband and children. No matter how tender she was, she would have to live alone in the deserted ancient temples. She would not be willing to give up investigating her parents' death and hide forever. She could not even farm, fish, and bask in the sun like Wang Yizhen after returning home, because she could not be known by anyone, so she could only hide in the shadow of invisible people forever. Otherwise, her younger brother, her uncle's family, and her parents' reputation would be so tired that she would be scolded by thousands of people.

Wang Yi really feels that Li Lanlan can't do it.

She just didn't want to be a concubine, but she would never want to live like this without being a human or a ghost. That kind of life is not seclusion, but real imprisonment until death.

So when Li Lanlan said these words, she was not begging, but just trying to test the prince's attitude.

Is the prince trying to bring people into the mansion just to settle this case? Or is he willing to marry a good wife to come in?

Li Lanlan stood up while crying, walked two steps to the prince, knelt down, and wanted to kowtow to the prince.

The prince was so scared that he stood up hurriedly, and then stretched out and held her firmly.

"Lanlan... Oh, don't do this. I'm sorry for you this time. If I hadn't protected myself, you should have married into an official family and become the official wife's wife. Now that you are going to marry into the Eastern Palace, I will definitely love you... How could you leave you aside and ignore it? Besides, taking you in the door is still the Crown Princess's idea. She is not a jealous person, and she is also upright. She has been helping me take care of the huge Eastern Palace, inside and outside. Alas... She is also very hard-working. Even if you are for me, you should get along well..."

Li Lanlan understood the prince's attitude.

He was willing to marry her as a side room. As long as Li Lanlan did not fight or rob, she would "get along well" with the crown princess, the prince would give her the decent dear ones.
